Lost at peranakan avenue

So much for saying I don't miss him. I DO ): Actually, I don't know. I guess I miss the idea and prospect of him, but I don't really LIKE LIKE him anymore. UGH, not easy to let something that is practically like breathing to me go yknow, it has been 2 years! Missing him is like an instinct already, something that I've learnt to live with after weeks and months of crying and self-wallowing and what not.
So, went for my job induction today and it was better than expected, quite interesting in fact! I got so lost though as i'm not familiar around that area. I ended up at some back alley then in some sort of peranakan style neighbourhood near chatsworth internation school. I was like, "Omg, shit shit! I'm so lost, I'm never gonna make it there in time! I'm gonna be rejected and fired before I even started!" "Damn it, where am I? This google map isn't helping me at all!" "Oh no, the building is beyond the estate, how do I exit?!!" And when I got to the building, I couldn't find the entrance and I entered from the emergency exit at the carpark area. Oh and it was raining btw, see how suckish that was? Also, in the carpark, I couldn't find the lift lobby and I had to take the firemen lift instead. OHGOODLORD. At least I made in there in time, in fact I was one of the earliest 5 to arrive. Other than that, it was all good.Made a new friend that will be working at the Compass Point branch. Just going through the induction today and I've learnt so much about retail already! All theory though, nothing hands on yet. Really nervous about the interaction with the customers yknow, like wow, what if I screw up? I guess it's the experience that counts, but hey, I really want to have fun too! I don't wanna dread going to work and sulk the entire day. I just hope I can remember everything I'm supposed to do. I'm so desperate for shifts! I have literally no life, nothing to do at all. Everyone is either working or overseas. My sleeping schedule is history! I sleep at around 4-5am and wake up around 1pm. THEN, sit on my bed all day and play with my phone and stuff.
ALL I know is that I'll most probably start work next week, ohgod, I really need money!
I have such terrible fashion sense as I'm one to just wear shirt, shorts and flip flops, voilà. So, now that I have to work in a retail outlet, I don't know what is acceptable, afraid of over or underdressing. HOLD UP, this seems familiar... I think I've done this portion in my previous post. But eitherway, I'm just stressed as to what to wear and I LITERALLY HAVE NOTHING OTHER THAN T-SHIRTS AND SHORTS!Went to F21 with Abigail yesterday and wow, I don't know if it's clearance or what but the jeans are being sold at $13/pair. I ONLY BOUGHT 1 PAIR ): Think i'm going back for more if i'm not lazy later, have to travel to town again. Ohmygod, that would be 3 times consecutively in a week! Also, the bikini bottoms there are being cleared at $10/each. Thank goodness I didn't buy one previously, original price is at like $20+. It was so difficult to pick one ): All were so pretty and the vibrant colours really attracted me!
Oh and I finally bought the 3rd book, Eternal Dawn. Among the hundred over books that I've ever read in my life, THIS IS MY FAVORITE SERIES. Was so upset that book 2 ended with a cliffhanger and that Rhode and Lenah are centuries apart, like, when Rhode is in current times, Lenah is already dead.. Like, you can't find anyone better matched than they are. It just isn't possible! Also, Rhode doesn't remember Lenah anymore, really wanna see how the story turns out. They are perfect! Can't emphasise on that enough. I ranted my book hangover and feelings of unjust on how the book ended like this with the possibility of no 3rd book being published (it seemed unlikely at that point of time) on twitter, and guess what. Rebecca Maizel, the author went to favourite my tweet. It was awkward because I tweeted that I hated the ending of the book Stolen Nights, and when I saw that she favourite the tweet, in my mind it was like "OH NO, she's gonna get the wrong idea that I hate her book, i just hated that it ended and it ended like this because I want more! I NEED MORE! I dont hate the boom at all, REBECCA, please dont misunderstand omg, but write a 3rd book please!" Yup.
Also, is it just me or does time seem to be speeding up? Kronos, why do you do this ): I'd like to believe that he is playing some kinda sick joke on us poor miserable mortals, really upset at how quickly time passes right now. It really scares me, like just looking back on a particular event that felt like it example 3 weeks, and going "OMG, it has been 2 months already? WHAT?"
I want a slow-paced life where it's all relaxing, stress free etc etc, BUT DUH, IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE. WRONG CENTURY!
